Series doubts

brainvision · 08-29-2012, 03:36 PM

Hi boys and girls!

I'm finally starting to import books into my Calibre library and cataloguing them in the most accurate way I can..
I recently downloaded a lot of comics impossible to find here in Italy (so I have to read them in english!!, but that's another question) and I'm unsure about how to fill series and titles field..
I'll show you an example.
I downloaded the American Vampire comics series: 'till now I have 25 single comics book; I'll use the first issue: American Vampire #1 - Big Break / Bad Bloods, by Scott Snyder & Rafael Albuquerque.
So, authors field is easy; the series and the series number field is also eas to set; where I miss is the title one: I'm pretty unsure if I have to use as title the titles of the stories (or a single story, in others issues) - so Big Break / Bad Bloods - or if I have to also use here the American Vampire data again..
To be honest I', using the second option, that I find more complete; so the title is something like that:

Code:

American Vampire #1 - Big Break / Bad Bloods

Maybe it's a little redundant, but - as I said - it looks more complete to my eyes.. what do you think about?
If you were on me, what would you do?

Thanks a lot!!

@brainvision -

If you search in this thread (Library Management) for 'comics', 'magazines' and 'newsletters' I think you'll find some useful ideas.
